Secured to the shaft 112 at spaced intervals are a plurality of pulleys 113 around which are passed belts 114 which alse pass around corresponding pulleys 115 spaced on and rotatably mounted on a rod 116 adjustably mounted in backwardly directed extensions 117 of the outer frame members 24, as clearly indicated in Figs. 'land 3 of the drawing. 1t will be f noted that the sheet metal facing 25 is cut out as shown at -118 to permit the pulleys L113 to pass therethrough and the belt 114 to pass overthe topv of said sheet backwardly to the pulleys 115, and with'this construction the sealed workpieces 98, one of which is shown in Fig. 12 of the drawing, may be be readily understood, are indicated at 119 in collected and fed from said machine as will y shaped cross head 32 is a beveled gear 121 whichl meshes with a corresponding gearI 122, secured to one'end of a shaft 123 mounted in the arm 30 as clearly indicated in Figs.- 2 and 4 of the drawing, and secured tothe other end of saidshaft is a whichl meshes with a corresponding beveled gear 125 secured to a transverse shaft 126 mounted in thervertically movable frame28 or the housing 29 thereof. Secured to the shaft 126 adjacent to one end thereof and within thehousing 29 isa gear 127, which 128 rotatably mounted on a shaft 1291 mounted. in thehousiiig 29 forwardly of and beneath the shaft 126, and secured to the opposite end` portions of the 'shaft 129 are brackets130 having upwardly The free ends of the4 arms .131vare con- 'nected'by a transverse rod 133 on which is rotatably mounted adjacent to one of-the beveled gear 124 arms 131 a anged anti-friction roller 134 which operates in connection with a cam 135 secured to the'shaft 126, as clearly indicated in Figs. 2 and 4 of the drawing. The free en ds ofthe other arms 132 are connected by i a shaft 136 carrying -a plurality of enlarged and springs 138 are connected at 139 with the free ends ofthe arms 132 and. With the housing portion-29 of the vertically 'movable 'frame 28, as shown at 140 inFig. 2 of the drawing and serve-to hold said arms in the position shown in said figure. A gear 141 is mounted on the shaft 136 in line with the gears 127 and 1 28 and is -in operative connection with the gear 128., and with this gear construction it will be seen that the feed rollers 137 are operated lfrom, the shaft 27 through-the beveled gears 122, 124 and 125.

VThe gear 128 is adapted to mesh with a gear construction 142 on av feed-roller 143 rotatably/mounted inv .the bottom central portion of the housing 29, as vclearly shown in Figs.'2 and 5 of the drawing. A shaft 144 is mounted in the housing 29 rearwardly of and beneath the slaft 126 and a gear 145 is mounted on saidl shaft, saidgear being in operative connection with the gear 127 on the shaft 126 and also in operative connection with a gear 146 mounted ona shaft 147 secured inthe rear end portion of the housing 29 and on which is mounted a plurality of large feed rollers 148, which correspond with Vthe feed rollers 137, and which operate in'connection With the workpiece feed 'rollers 73 and 89. l r

A forwardly .directed top finger.. 149 is secured to a shaft 144, and passes through an laperture in a sheet metal facing 150 for the housing 29 as clearly shown in Fig. 2 and against the face of Which the-articles fed into the machine abut, and which preventsv the 'further feeding of siich articles into the machine untilA an arm 151 secured to the shaft 129 raises said linger out of operative position by the engagement with said finger at 152 as will be readily understood, and it will also be noted that the feed roller 143 also passes through an aperture in the sheet metal facing 150 of the housing 29.

The opera-tion of my improved machine -Will be readily understood from the foregoing description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing and the following statement thereof. The position of the various parts of my improved machine as indicated in Fig. 1 vmight be regarded as their normal positions, .or in other words if the drive shaft 27 is operated-from any suitable souce through the belt 34 and the pulley 33, the shaft 39l carrying the geneva crank 40,'cam 48and gear 74 will loe-rotated through theA gears 36 Iand 38, the ear 74 ro..v

t'ating the feed rollers 73, 59 and 2 through -the gears 75, 77, 79, 78, 81 and 82, 80, 84 and '83, lwhile the feed rollers 137, 148,l and 143 are drivenfby the shaft 27 through' the beve'led `gears* 121, V124- and 125 and through the gears-127, 128, 141,* 1'45and 146. In

seal this operation`Il the feed rollers, 137 in the housing 29. are moved vertically in one di'- rection by the cammember 135 on the shaft 126 which'operates in connection with'the flanged anti-friction roller 134 on the brackets 130, and in -the l.other direction bythe' springs 1 38, in which operation thestop finger 149 1s correspondingly raised andv lowered by the operating arm 151 and by gravity, and the operation of these parts will be readily understoodv on a consideration of Figs. 2 and 10 of the drawing., It will alsoI be noted that in thel above described operay tion of the machine the feed rollers 55 and the rotary cutting. devices 56 and 57 are not in operation by reason ofthe fact that-the.

geneva crank 40 is out o'f operative connection with the geneva'41, as will evident` on a conslderation o f Fig.18 of the drawing.

When the machine is in operatinn, as above described, if the article 98to be sealed is fed into the machine, as indicated in Figs. 10 and 11 of the drawing, the same will first strike the stop linger 149, if the parts are in ition indicated in Figt 2, and when the feed rollers 4137 reach the position indicated in Fig. 10 of the "drawing, said article is fed farther into the machine and the hook-shaped iinge'r'96 is depressed,.into the position shown in Fig. 10,l and this 'operation moves thearm 92 into the-position shown in said ligure, it being understood that the cam `48 is so constructed and timed as'to move the geneva y41 on .the shaft 44 against the tension of the springs 49, or into the position shown in Fig.- 9 of the drawing'at the time orslightly 1n advance' ofthe time at which the arm '92 is moved into the position s hownin Figs. 9 and 10, 4and in .this position of' said arm :the geneva .I is held thereby against outward movement on the shaft 44 by the springs 49, as will be readily understood, and the geneva crank 40 will engage said geneva and rotate revolution. y l,

The operation of the geneva 41 rotates the feed rollers 55 and rotary cutting devices 56 it orne-quarter of a and y57 to feed the sea-ling. strip/5.4 verticall and to cut-off the protruded portionthereo and vthis part 153 is picked up'by the vfeed and moistening rollers 59 and 1s fed into the position as shown in Fig. 11,'in which position the'edge portion of the workpiece or article 98 to be sealed as it is fed into the machine engages the central portion of said part 153 and forces it between the feed rollers 59 and 143, whereit is compressed onto the ecpposite sides. of the article 98 togbeand said article is then vthrough the feed rollers 73 and 148 and discharged onto the conveyer belts 114, which carry the iso same yrearwardly of the machine where they Figs.

' l,tion of the .feed rollers 55 through the gef geneva and operate d readily understood, and it will be noted that v i through the gears 35,

neva 41 also operates the belts 114 by reason of the worm gear construction 106 and 107 and helical or spiral gear construction 110 and 111 which d-rives the shaft 112 carrying thevspools 113.

vWith the vertically movableframe 28 carrying the feed rollers 137, 143 and 148 workpieces of varying thicknesses may be fed intothe machine without changing the construction of said machine, Whatever, or

without making any adjustment ofthe various parts of said-machine, and the limit of the transverse width of said workpieces will be that of the distance between the outer frame members 24 as willbe readily understood, and by providing an Iautomatic machine of the class referred to, it will beimpossible to feed a workpiece into the ma'- chine farther than' the stop finger 148 until the feed rollers 55 and rotary cutting de-l vices 56 and 57 are putin operation through the hook-shaped' finger 96 and arm 92 as albove set o'ut. y

The cam 48 is constantly machine is in operation by'` the shaft 39 36 and 38 asis also the genevaV crank 40 and -at each revolution thereofthe geneva 41 is moved longitudinally. of the shaft 44, but this movement is such that the crank 40 just misses said geneva, but vwhen the geneva is held by the arm 92 against movement on the shaft 44 by the'- springs 49 as above set out, the next revolution of the crank 40 will engage the the same as will be the cam face 154 of the cam 48 operates upon a shoulder 155 on the sleeve portion 45 ofthe geneva. Y

While I have shown and described the various detailsfof construction for carrying erating the feed feeding, cutting and moistening the sealing ,strip employed, Vit

my invention into' effect such as an antomvatic starting mechanism, the means for op- 'roller and themeans for will be understood that changes iii and modications of these details of construction may be madejwithin the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacriicingits advantages.
